LE account, history, and empties movement

Detailed guidance for account-keeper changes, posted empties movements, and LE account analysis in Automotive.

Purpose

This page deepens the loading-equipment logic around the three work areas that usually decide whether reconciliation succeeds or escalates: account-keeper changes, posted empties movements, and LE account analysis.

Why this detail page matters

Physical packaging movements alone are not enough for partner reconciliation. What matters is whether the business responsibility was assigned correctly, historized correctly, and analyzed periodically.

Use account-keeper changes deliberately

The account-keeper-change overview shows posted loading-equipment or package movements together with the assigned account keeper. It is not meant for casual mass maintenance, but for deliberate correction when responsibility must be repaired afterwards.

Use an account-keeper change only when it is clear:

which partner carried the responsibility before
which partner should carry it afterwards
which document or movement triggered the change

Without this context, the monthly reconciliation might look repaired, but it will no longer be explainable.

Read posted empties movements correctly

The posted empties movements view is the operational history for posting date, location, and responsibility. It answers three key questions:

when was a movement posted?
which account keeper was affected?
which business document or process caused the movement?

Use this view especially for:

questions raised by customers, vendors, or carriers
differences between physical empties and the LE account
corrections after a wrong account-keeper assignment

Analyze the LE account correctly

The LE account page is the central periodic analysis of all posted loading-equipment and package movements. It is not just a static history, but an analysis tool with filters and drilldown.

For clean reconciliation, the most useful filters are:

Filter	How to use it
Item no.	evaluate one specific loading-equipment item
Account keeper type	separate customer, vendor, or other responsibility
Account keeper	reconcile with one single partner
Period type	build day, week, month, quarter, or year analysis
From date / to date	limit an unclear period precisely

Use the drilldown on movements whenever a summary looks suspicious but the cause is still unclear.

Recommended reconciliation routine

Build the LE account for the relevant period and partner.
Open suspicious movements via drilldown.
Compare posted empties movements and history.
If needed, justify an account-keeper change or correction document.
Only afterwards trigger commercial settlement or partner communication.

Typical special cases

Responsibility corrected afterwards

If the physical movement was right but the account keeper was wrong, do not correct only on summary level. First inspect the affected movement and use the account-keeper change only with a clear business reference.

Difference between physical stock and LE account

This often points to a missing empties document, a wrong partner relation, or an undocumented exception process. In that case, the LE account is your starting tool, not the final answer.

Partner reports a different balance

Do not compare totals only. First narrow the period, the loading-equipment type, and the account keeper. Then review whether returns, reversals, or reassignments were interpreted differently.

Typical error patterns

Situation	Possible cause	Check
Balance does not match the partner	wrong account keeper or missing counter-movement	drill down in the LE account and inspect history
Movement is visible in the warehouse, but not in reconciliation	no empties movement or the wrong empties movement was posted	inspect posted empties movements
Correction only shifts the issue	account-keeper change was done without business justification	trace back the original posting and partner relation
Period looks implausible	wrong period type or too broad filter	rebuild the LE account with narrower filters
